10/03/13 - called regarding a stale debt from T-Mobile which was purchased by Midland Credit Management. Collections. Calls regarding this debt had been originating from India for about 6 months. This was the second call in 3 days from the US. I actually owe this money from a cell phone contract I cancelled early. I'm unemployed, broke, and can't pay it.
The phone calls on both occasions dropped abruptly in the middle of the conversation. This number appears to be from the Rochester NY area and at one time was assigned to MagicJack [YMAX Corporation].
This appears to be a nickel and dime collections operation running on cheap internet Voip lines. On the other hand I approve of moving jobs from India back to the states so I look forward to more of these. Wayanda and Nicole - please call me again gurrlz - you sound like nice ladies, I want to get to know you better. Tell me again, what are you wearing?
Keep getting calls from 585-633-7245, only answered once told them that person was never at this phone number, and they keep calling. FCCS Collection Company is what the recording says if you call them back.

10/18/13 - No more phone contacts after the first 2 aborted calls for a while. The first letter from FBCS asserting commencement of their collections activities and stating the account information arrived a few days ago.
Today was the first call after the letter arrived. When I told the caller (Iris Bonifaccio) that I was putting her on speaker she indicated that she would prefer to not be on speaker. I advised her that sadly that was a preference I was unable to comply with. She then terminated the call. I guess FBCS doesn't like the possibility of having their phone calls overheard or recorded.
It's the Bobmeister, with some more notes on this number.
Update on FBCS. This is actually a fairly substantial collections company which uses some elaborate software to direct their hi-jinks. Despite which they are still inept and persistent.
On 11/4/13 and today, 11/5/13 I received phone calls around 5:30 PM. On responding to the ring a recorded voice said "Hello" several times on 11/4 and just once on 11/5. I hello-ed back being a warm and convivial individual, but no human contact was forthcoming. Both calls were terminated from their end, without a conversation.
This may be an attempt at psychological intimidation or just a really crappy, inefficient predictive call router system.
